Champions' League: Final
Results: Sunday
Real Madrid v Liverpool
KAMPALA - Ugandan football fans had another night to remember as Real Madrid won their 13th European Champions League title in Kiev on Saturday night.
A few lucky ones will not only remember the four goals scored on the night and Gareth Bale's spectacular second goal for Madrid, but walked away with fantastic prizes courtesy of DStv and Pepsi.
The official viewing point for invited city dwellers was at the Sheraton Hotel side attended by over 100 fans who watched the action on a huge screen at the pool side.
For Cliff Mbage, Craig Bowman, Mike Mwesigye who won a flat screen TV each for predicting the right score and Mohammed Ssekamatte who won himself a DStv Explorer, couldn't have asked for more.

Over 11 fans had got the 3-1 prediction right and MCee Andrew cKabuura had no option but to subject them to a mini draw conducted by NTV's Johnson Omolo, Sheraton Hotel's General Manager Jean-Phillippe Bittencourt, Pepsi's Elizabeth Mutamuliza and DStv's Herbert Walugembe who handed them their prizes.
They recieved prizes such as mobile phones for a right half time score, that went to Musa Wandera, David Taryomwe and Dan Nankunda.
What is a football final without eats and drinks?
Drinks both soft and hard were also in plenty including live music performances from Winnie Nwagi and Bebe Cool who kept the football fans even more entertained.
